Transmission is shifting hard and slipping
Bought this car for my daughters first car when she turned sixteen. She drove for one month and the transmission started jerking hard, reving up high, and slipping. She scared to drive now so the money I paid for this car is wasted. I'm a mother of two I don't have the kind of money they want to replace this transmission. She only needed to drive her sibling and her to and from school a mile down the rd but the car jerks on the way there. Not a very dependable car for a nissan top of the line made vehicle. We have always had a nissan guess I need to switch brands since nissan does not want to fix the mistake they are responsible for.
The transmission started jerking and slipping a few weeks ago till suddenly started decelerating in the free way to the point that had to stop. Now it doesn't accelerate anymore.
Car transmission slips and violently jerks when changing gears from park to 1st or reverse and while driving on the highway and in the city. Sudden RPM increase and acceleration while driving on the highway. Due to the jerking, engine mount is broken.
Transmission slips and jerks during take-off and acceleration. This is a major safety issue when attempting to cross traffic or clear intersections.
Transmission slips and knocks randomly, is not safe at all.
The transmission is acting up as with all other maximas. It's jerking and slipping on the street.it's really dangerous to drive. Called up the dealer and new transmission would cost $3000.
